Suppose that 60% of all college students study only during the night before a test. Let x be the number of students who study only during the night before a test, among 11 r/s college students. Facts: P(x=8) = 0.177, P(x=9) =0.089, P(x=10) = 0.027 and P(x=11) = 0.004. Find the probability that x is at most 9. Find the mean and s.d. of x. (a) (b)

A tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second. Take out a piece of paper and read the above problem context again. You will prepare your written work and solutions on your own paper and upload it and the end of this question. Complete the problem solving process by: i. reading and re-reading the problem to identify the quantities in the situation; ii. making a drawing to represent the relevant quantities in the situation; iii. and defining the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. a.

Could someone help me with part C of this question? I have everything else right, I’m just confused on this part. Thanks!

Solve the problem below. For your initial post in Brightspace, copy the description of your company given in the box below and then enter your solution to all three parts (parts a, b, and c) of the problem. To copy the description of your company, highlighting and using "copy" from here in Mobius and then using "paste" into Brightspace should work. However, if when you copy and paste x you get a 2 instead, then change your x2 to x^2. Hint: We covered this topic in "2-1 Reading and Participation Activities: Quadratic Equations" in Module Two. You can check your answer to part b to make sure that you are on the right track. For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 40x +300 and the revenue for selling a items is 80r - 0.5x2. The profit that the company makes is how much it takes in (revenue) minus how much it spends (cost). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least wants to make a profit! Part a: Set up an expression…
